To find two numbers whose sum is -18 from the provided options:
- 4.5
- 5.5
- -23 1/2 (which is -23.5)
- -24 3/4 (which is -24.75)
- -22 1/2 (which is -22.5)
- 6.75
Let's explore pairs:
-
-23.5 + 5.5 = -18 (This works)
-
-24.75 + 6.75 = -18 (This also works)
Both pairs of numbers (-23.5 and 5.5) and (-24.75 and 6.75) sum to -18.
Therefore, you can choose either of these pairs.
